Halloween 3: Season of the Witch is A) a film that didn't nearly deserve the hate it got, B) a movie unfortunately shafted by its placement in the series, C) Equivalent to Tokyo Drift, D) a work that deserves the reevaluation it's currently getting, E) all of the above.

First and foremost, though Season of the Witch (Tagline: The night no one came home) was not directed by famed horror director John Carpenter, the writing credit and fact that his fingerprints mark entire make this a solid Carpenter movie. Look at his other work and then at this movie and tell me this isn't a true blue Carpenter movie.

On that note, it might be productive to add context here. Just like Stranger Things, the Halloween franchise was supposed to be a series of self-contained one-shots in what was set to be a solid horror anthology. And just like Stranger Things, the first installment introduced a story that overtook the franchise the same way Star Wars overtook George Lucas' career. Except Halloween 3 came in to try and stop that, only for its place as the third film in a series that so far only featured Micheal Meyers to scuttle any chances of it steering this ship back in the right direction.

Not only did its sudden appearance as a Halloween movie without Meyers garner it lots of hate, the backlash--much like with Tokyo Drift after it--ensured that the following films in the franchise would gradually turn to boring rehashes of the same main theme, even as the reviled third film is frankly more iconic and higher quality than what audiences credit it with.

This is a tight film! Well paced, with memorable characters and a unique premise and an extremely Carpenter ending that's positively delicious. It's an engaging horror film that might not win awards but certainly deserves more praise than it's historically been given. Go watch it.
